Kalitta with his best
pass of the weekend, he launched hard and was able to get it to hook all the way through the 1320.

Weis started to lose traction right off the starting line and clicked it off. Smith
was on a good pass until around half track and then it started mixing up cylinders and was shooting
a lot of flames out of the left bank. He crossed the finish line with a big puff of smoke. Smith
got off the bubble with this pass. John Smith's incremental times: 60ft-0.885 sec., 330ft-2.209,

throttle a couple times. Left Lane: T.J. Zizzo Runs 10.950/80.42, Now #15; Best prior run: 4.688/282.24, Was

out of the groove just past half track and then got real loose before she lifted and coasted on
